I agree also, check to see if your state will issue a new tag. Another question though...do the states issue a "new" vin or would they use his old numbers, I guess it would vary from state to state. 1968Dart270, what state are you in?

Washington State uses the existing vin#. They don't want to make one up and have it be by dumb luck the same as another car. They also use the existing vin # for auto manufacturer recall reasons. If they changed the vin the manufacturer wouldn't know it and couldn't send a safety recall notice. I believe because of the second reason all states probably use the existing vin #.
